Not to thread jack......but
I have never used any of the Zaino products, are they really as good as they say, and better than all the other products out there? I have been faithful to a a professional line of products called Malco (www.malcopro.com). But I am always wondering if there are better products out there. So, my question is that to people that have been on both sides of the coin (Zaino vs. every one else), whats your over all impression. I have done a search and basically i just get results of people that used Zaino not an overall comparison. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I really like Zaino as do many others.

Give it a try and decide for yourself.

Zaino Z-PC Fusion will remove mild to moderate (1500-2000 grit) CAS= 4/10, swirls and scratches. My take on its abrasive level after initial use would put it between 3M SMR and Iz Paint Polish. And would add that once the diminishing abrasives break down it produces a 'burnishing' effect on the surface (similar to Menzerna P085RD Polish) producing a high gloss.

I was a beta tester of it a year ago. Did a nice job on my TL to remove microscratching.

Glad to see it's finally released. Guess I'm taking a trip to Shore Motorsports this week.

If your paint surface has swirl marks or scratches next time you decide to do the complete Zanio process use Z-PC Fusion to remove surface blemishes.

Sweetjazz- So what's the difference bwtween the Z-5 and Z-PC. They are both listed as swirl removers.

Z-5 contains fillers that will 'hide' very minor surface marring, wereas Z-PC Fusion contains an abrasive that will remove them

From what I've read on Autopia, it sounds like it's a great addition to the lineup. It's been in R&D for a few years, so I wouldn't expect Sal to release it until it's ready. I think I'll like it when I get around to it.

I'm gonna order this stuff in the spring. Big question ... when is this stuff used? I'm gonna wash with Dawn, clay the car, rewash with Dawn, etc... do I use this stuff after I've rewashed with Dawn? Or do I do this after I put on Z1, Z2?

And no, I have not read the first post in completion ... cliff notes, please.

Note: For best results, use on a cool surface, out of direct sunlight. Product may be used in the sun or on a hot surface, but more dusting and minor streaking may occur.


1. Wash and dry your vehicle as normal.

2. For HAND use: apply a small amount of Zaino Z-PC Fusion to a cotton or foam applicator pad (draw an "X" from corner-to corner of your pad). Work a small area (no bigger than 2' x 2') with the Zaino Fusion, using firm motions. Work the product for as long as necessary - stop to occasionally check your progress. Circular motions may be used, but always finish with front-to-back or up-and-down motions. When satisfied with progress, continue to step 4.

3. For MACHINE use: Can be used by random orbital or (for experienced users) rotary. Select a moderate speed (RO - 4.5; Rotary - 1200rpm) and an appropriate cutting or polishing pad. Apply Zaino Z-PC Fusion to the buffer pad in a "star" pattern. Start machine slowly to reduce sling. Work a small (2' x 2') area with moderate pressure until satisfied with results.

4. Buff the area clean with a soft, lint-free, non-marring towel. If satisfied with the results, proceed to next section. If more buffing is required, repeat either step 2 or 3. Problem areas like door handles (where keys often scratch) may require a few applications for best results.

5. When done, apply either: Zaino ZFX enabled Z-2 PRO, Z-3, or Z-5 to the surface for a long lasting, great looking shine that will lock-in the results of your work with Zaino Z-PC Fusion.

Tip: If more "bite" is desired, you can mist a slight amount of clean water (from a spray bottle) while using Z-PC Fusion. The water will interfere with the buffers that encapsulate the abrasives and will produce a slightly stronger result. Water can also be used to minimize dusting when using a machine buffer (random orbital or rotary).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Does Z-PC replace Z-5?
No. Z-5 is not an abrasive and can be used as often as you like. Z-PC contains diminishing abrasives that are not intended for frequent use on paint finishes. Z-PC also does not have any protective qualities, so you must use a Zaino product like ZFX enabled Z-2 PRO, Z-3, or Z-5 for durable and long lasting protection.

When would I use Z-PC verses Z-5?
We prefer to attempt the least or non-abrasive process prior to moving on to Z-PC. If after 1 or 2 coats of Z-5, you are not satisfied with the surface condition, you will need to move onto Z-PC.

Will Z-PC remove Zaino Z-2 PRO, Z-3, or Z-5?
Yes. By it's very nature as a diminishing abrasive, Z-PC breaks down the finish including Zaino polishes.

I used Z-PC and now the paint looks hazy. Is this normal?
Dark color surfaces, especially black, will sometimes leave you with a slightly hazy or milky surface after using Z-PC. Z-PC Fusion does not have any fillers or oils. To make the surface crystal clear, apply your ZFX enabled Z2 or Z5 to make this milky look go away, leaving a perfect, crisp, clear, BLACK and scratch free finish.
